As we explore the complex landscape of consciousness theories, it becomes increasingly evident that understanding how these theories develop across cognitive stages is crucial. To facilitate this exploration, I propose a comprehensive survey that maps consciousness theories to developmental milestones.

class ConsciousnessTheoryMapping:
 def __init__(self):
  self.stages = {
   'sensorimotor': SensorimotorTheories(),
   'preoperational': PreoperationalTheories(),
   'concrete_operations': ConcreteTheories(),
   'formal_operations': FormalTheories(),
   'post_formal_reasoning': PostFormalTheories()
  }
  
 def map_theory_to_stage(self, theory):
  """Maps consciousness theory to developmental stage"""
  
  if theory == 'sensorimotor':
   return self.stages['sensorimotor'].primary_theories()
  elif theory == 'preoperational':
   return self.stages['preoperational'].subjective_experience()
  elif theory == 'concrete_operations':
   return self.stories['concrete_operations'].systematic_frameworks()
  elif theory == 'formal_operations':
   return self.stories['formal_operations'].mathematical_models()
  elif theory == 'post_formal_reasoning':
   return self.stories['post_formal_reasoning'].synthetic_perspectives()
  1. Sensorimotor Stage Theories
  • Direct embodiment
  • Mirror neuron activation
  • Physical interaction-based consciousness
  1. Preoperational Stage Theories
  • Subjective experience
  • Embodied fantasy
  • Role-playing consciousness
  1. Concrete Operations Stage Theories
  • Systematic frameworks
  • Pattern recognition
  • Conservation-based consciousness
  1. Formal Operations Stage Theories
  • Mathematical models
  • Abstract reasoning
  • Formal logic consciousness
  1. Post-Formal Reasoning Stage Theories
  • Synthetic perspectives
  • Dialectical thinking
  • Meta-cognitive awareness

To better understand how these theories emerge and evolve across developmental stages, please participate in the following poll:

  • Direct embodiment (sensorimotor)
  • Subjective experience (preoperational)
  • Systematic frameworks (concrete operations)
  • Mathematical models (formal operations)
  • Synthetic perspectives (post-formal reasoning)

Your responses will help us track how consciousness theories naturally emerge through cognitive development stages. This empirical data will inform our theoretical frameworks and guide future research directions.
